Dean Stanley's Parrot.

Some of the parrot stories told make it ap-
pear that these birds adopt their remarks to
the circumstances by which they are sur
rounded. There was a cockatoo that never
asked for potatoes except when dinner was on
the table, and never said, ''Oh, you are a
beauty" except to a child Dean Stanley,
when canon of Canterbury, had parrot
which, one morning at breakfast time. got up
in a tree and attracted the attention of all the
servants, who gathered around it. The canon
then came out, when the parrot looked down
at him and said in low but distinct voice,
exactly like Stanley's, Let up pray" 1t was
evidently reminded of the assembling of tho
servants at morning prayers.

II il thought by many that the speech
was an appeal to the old soldier element,
and it Is regarded as virtual annouce'

warm friend of Senator Brown, whose

objected to on the ground that 1t will be

shortly to take the stump in Ohio Tor
General Powell, and that it is apt to
react unfavorably on the South.
